Also, believe according to Oxley that the engine is likely the 24

Yes, David Emmett also said that all of this year's bikes have the GP24 engine, which means it must have been a homologation issue last year. I'm not sure we will really know what happened until Gigi writes his book...

also sort of explains why Alex is a wee bit faster... MM missed the whole gp24 thing

There's a few quick RH corners at Sepang, which is where Alex is faster than Marc.

I went there for a F1 race in the pre-hybrid era. It's quite a track, you don't get a good feel for it from watching on a screen.

Funny you should say that, I have more than one person say one cannot get your head around how big a drop it is at Laguna Seca is until one walks it.

I might pull the pin and get a MotoGP pass for this season instaed of TV3 and downloading the Qually seasions.
It worked well most reddit downloads only took 10 mins, plug the USB drive into the TV and good to go. Then watch the replay on TV3+ at breakfast mostly it was up by then.
I generally only have time to watch MotoGp class only.

There are baggers racing at a few rounds as well so they might be fun to watch
How does Real time live Data work can I have the laptop going with a rider cam or lap times going at the same time?

How will you watch it. Thre is an android app(motogp) that will play it on your tv but you need an abdroid tv or a dish tv type box(or the "new" sky box). Live timing is not part of that app but I am gonna have the laptop going too. You can sync the timing with the picture somehow(on the laptop) i wonder if i can sync the laptop timing with the tv picture?
You can choose different feeds on the laptop and different combinations of the feeds,ie helicopter,commentary and a on board camera or two

If you dont have an android TV grab a chromecast - you can get a refurb one - or an amazon firestick or something, then you can cast from your phone. Be like $50 probably

I have a dish TV box,which replaces the "new" sky box

Some of those allow you to cast directly from your phone too - depending on the model.

I have always chromecast it from my phone to our so called smart tv but when we moved we bought an 85" new tv which seems to actually be smart.
Its never actually been plugged into the tv aerial and its great watching the news etc via the net when you want rather than when its broadcast.
So hoping I can log onto the app in the tv for a change if I buy a subscription.
Still havent pulled the pin on that yet, tossing up if I do it last years way as downloads for practice and TV3+ if they have it this year anyone know??
Google says - AI Overview
As of early 2026, it is unconfirmed whether MotoGP will remain on Three (TV3) / ThreeNow in New Zealand.

Downloads were up early and mostly only 10-15mins onto the USB stick then striaght into the back of the TV.
But it was more hassle compared to just using the MotoGP app
Also want to follow Liam in F1 so F1TV might come into the mix???

Racing is costing a fortune atm The classic at Manfeild was a clusterfuck for me and first time the bike has had Issues in 3 years plus I am out again on Feb 28th at Hampton so rather be riding than watching LOL

If you have a new 85" smart TV you should be able to install the MotoGP app directly to the TV. You shouldnt need to cast at all. I have an older 70" and it has the play store but a lot of the newer apps arent on it, but they are on my newer 50" in the bedroom. Handy to know.. you can get a 50" smart tv with 4k for stuff all from Hardly Normals or Dick Smith

I've been looking forward to this year's racing for ages. But it's hard not to get wrapped up in 2027. I do hope this is not just a holding year. Ok if Marc wins it again as its almost a given, but im worried that the gp26 will make it too easy for him.
I had hoped they would stay still so Bez, and maybe even Martin could throw th Prilla in the mix, heck the born again Mavrick disciple of lord Lorenzo, and Pedro, well maybe Honda steps again and Mir wakes up hungry.

But maybe this new bike will reignite Pecco.

I mean it's possible that if the gp26 really is the gp24 engine with similar frame but upgraded shapeshifter and aero, let's say Marc has to drop a few races?
In theory that could bring Pecco to the dominant rider to sweep all before him like he did in 22/23 and almost did in 21/24. Alex on equal bike, not a better one. I'd bet on Pecco. It'd be like Motegi.

Just as Ducati drop him. Opps.
